Meet the founder of 4B Networks, Rahul Yadav, aka the 'Bad boy of startups', and learn about his stunning wife, Karishma Khokhar, who is also an entrepreneur.
Rahul Yadav is a renowned name in India's business space, and for most of his life, he has majorly been controversies' favourite child. The founder of 4B Networks and the co-founder and former CEO of Housing.com, Rahul Yadav is once again leading all the headlines due to another controversy. According to a report in Livemint.com, Naukri.com's parent company, Info Edge, has filed an FIR against Rahul Yadav and some key executives of 4B Networks.
The conflict started in November 2023, when Rahul Yadav reportedly failed to provide Info Edge with financial information about 4B Networks. According to some speculations on the internet, after numerous discussions and meetings between the two parties, Info Edge found Rahul Yadav's reasons unconvincing and filed an FIR against him on November 29, 2024. As per a report in Livemint, Info Edge had invested Rs. 12 crore as debt and Rs. 275 crore in shares in Rahul Yadav's company, 4B Network.
Despite all this money being invested in 4B Networks, Info Edge accused 4B Networks of serious corporate governance and vendor obligations lapses. Since the start of this controversy, Info Edge has been quite vocal about their sour experience of working with Rahul Yadav. The founder of Info Edge, Sanjeev Bikhchandani, said:
"We all make mistakes sometimes. Investors can also go wrong….I think we need to admit that 4B was a mistake. Companies go down but fraud is a different thing."
The statement is making rounds in the business space and has taken a massive hit on Rahul Yadav's career. This isn't the first time Rahul Yadav's name has been mentioned in an alleged fraud and financial irregularities case. In the past, we have seen Rahul Yadav receiving a lot of backlash for his clash with Housing.com's investors. Due to his infamous chapter with Housing.com, he started getting referred to as the 'Bad Boy of startups'.
Moving on to his personal life, Rahul Yadav is married to a gorgeous lady named Karishma Khokhar. Right from the beginning of their marriage, they kept their married life far from the reach of media and shutterbugs.
